Detection of Recombinant Hare Myxoma Virus in Wild Rabbits (Oryctolagus cuniculus algirus) [PDF]
In late 2018, an epidemic myxomatosis outbreak emerged on the Iberian Peninsula leading to high mortality in Iberian hare populations. A recombinant Myxoma virus (strains MYXV-Tol and ha-MYXV) was rapidly identified, harbouring a 2.8 kbp insertion ...

A Replication-Defective Myxoma Virus Inducing Pro-Inflammatory Responses as Monotherapy and an Adjuvant to Chemo- and DC Immuno-Therapy for Ovarian Cancer [PDF]
Myxoma virus (MYXV), a rabbit-specific poxvirus and non-pathogenic in humans and mice, is an excellent candidate oncolytic virus for cancer therapy. MYXV also has immunotherapeutic benefits.

Coinfections of Novel Polyomavirus, Anelloviruses and a Recombinant Strain of Myxoma Virus-MYXV-Tol Identified in Iberian Hares [PDF]
Viruses are ubiquitous in nature; however, very few have been identified in the Leporid species. In the fall of 2018, an outbreak of myxomatosis in Iberian hares (Lepus granatensis) was reported in Spain and a novel recombinant myxoma virus strain (MYXV ...

Recombinant Myxoma Virus Expressing Walleye Dermal Sarcoma Virus orfC Is Attenuated in Rabbits [PDF]
The poxvirus, myxoma virus (MYXV) has shown efficacy as an oncolytic virus (OV) in some cancer models. However, MYXV replication within murine cancer models and spontaneous canine sarcomas is short-lived.

Myxoma virusjumps species to the Iberian hare [PDF]
The study of myxoma virus (MYXV) infections in the European rabbit (Oryctolagus cuniculus) has produced one of the most accepted host-pathogen evolutionary models. To date, myxomatosis has been limited to the European rabbit with sporadic reports in hares.

Comparative characterization of Leporipoxvirus members’ reproduction in continuous cell culture
Examination of the virus-cell interactions is of both scientific and practical importance. Our study was aimed at comparative characterization of rabbit myxoma virus and Shope fibroma virus biological properties that manifested during the virus ...

Metabolic signatures associated with oncolytic myxoma viral infections
Oncolytic viral therapy is a recent advance in cancer treatment, demonstrating promise as a primary treatment option. To date, the secondary metabolic effects of viral infection in cancer cells has not been extensively studied.

Oncolytic myxoma virus: The path to clinic [PDF]
Many common neoplasms are still noncurative with current standards of cancer therapy. More therapeutic modalities need to be developed to significantly prolong the lives of patients and eventually cure a wider spectrum of cancers. Oncolytic virotherapy is one of the promising new additions to clinical cancer therapeutics.

Plasmacytoid dendritic cells (pDCs) play important roles in antiviral innate immunity by producing type I interferon (IFN). In this study, we assess the immune responses of primary human pDCs to two poxviruses, vaccinia and myxoma virus.
